Harry Potter's Big Secret In The Order Of The Phoenix Book Made Dolores Umbridge Even More Despicable

Trigger Warning! This article contains discussions of abuse.
Harry kept a secret in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix book that made Dolores Umbridge even worse than she was in the movies. Umbridge has long been considered the true villain of Harry Potter since her sickeningly sweet cruelty had a more profound impact on readers and viewers than even Lord Voldemort. Actor Imelda Staunton did the role spectacular justice, making herself just as despicable as the toad-like character found on the page. However, some subtle changes to the Harry Potter movies lessened the overall effect of Dolores Umbridge.
In the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie, Umbridge introduced Harry to her Black Quill during his very first detention with her. When Harry wrote lines with this particular quill ("I must not tell lies"), it magically wrote across the page without the necessity for any ink.
